Sliding Security Gates

Sliding security gates offer strong entry control without taking up unnecessary space. At Chainwire Fencing, we install gate systems that fit different sites—whether it’s a warehouse, school, or private site needing controlled access.

What We Provide

We supply and install sliding security gates designed to meet functional and safety requirements across sectors. Each gate system is planned to suit site layout, access needs, and material preferences.

Our installations are carried out using tested gate mechanisms, quality steel components, and optional automation features for reliable long-term use.

What’s included:

  • Custom-width track or cantilever gates
  • Heavy-duty framing and rail support
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Ground track or no-track designs
  • Integrated access options (e.g. keypad, swipe, intercom)

We also help you plan gate integration with new or existing fencing systems.

Key Benefits

Space-saving operation

Gate slides parallel to the fence line—ideal for driveways or entries with limited swing room.

Access control options

Set up controlled entry using electric systems, code access, or keypad entry.

Built for weather and wear

All parts are designed to withstand long outdoor exposure and high-use traffic.

Custom fit for the site

Track length, rail height, and finish are planned for your exact site layout.

Secure lock system

Locks are integrated at closure points for tamper resistance and site security.

Where Sliding Gates Work Best

Sliding gates are suited for access points that need to stay clear for vehicles or foot traffic while maintaining security. They reduce obstruction along the driveway or boundary and are commonly selected for properties that deal with frequent movement or require entry tracking.

  • Used at warehouses and depots to manage freight movement, block unauthorised access, and secure high-traffic service entries
  • Installed in commercial yards to support operational control, separate customer areas from delivery zones, and monitor in-out traffic
  • Applied on construction sites to prevent access to materials and equipment when staff are off-site or during closed periods
  • Fitted at unit complexes to separate tenant-only areas from surrounding streets and reduce risk of external entry
  • Installed around schools, parks, and community spaces to control entry times, guide vehicle flow, and block off zones after hours

Each setup is selected based on movement volume, boundary layout, and the type of users expected on-site. The sliding design keeps access points functional without compromising control.

Gate Options and Materials

Galvanised Steel Gates

Resist rust and impact, suited for high-use zones and outdoor exposure.

Powder-Coated Finishes

Choose black, grey, or colour-matched finishes to blend with fence or structure.

Automated or Manual

Options for keypad, remote, or manual operation. Includes safety sensors if automated.

All systems are designed to lock securely when closed, using anti-lift rail systems and tested closure points.

Our Installation Approach

Our installation process includes:

Our Installation Approach

We review the access point, clearance, ground level, and possible hazards.

Planning and Gate Design

We customise the width, rail type, and lock method based on how the gate will be used.

Installation and Setup

We prepare the base, install rails or tracks, fit the gate, and test for alignment.

Testing and Review

We check the gate's operation, lock position, and automated features (if any).

We coordinate with project managers, schools, or private clients to work within timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a sliding gate be installed on an existing fence line?

Yes. We can assess the current fence layout to determine if a gate can be added without major changes. In most cases, adjustments to posts or surface levels may be needed for smooth operation.

Tracked gates run along a ground-mounted rail, while cantilever gates are suspended and don’t require ground contact. Cantilever options are often used where surfaces are uneven or where ground tracks may collect debris.

Yes, an electrical connection is required for automated gates. If access to power is limited, we can advise on solar-powered options or plan manual-only operation.

This depends on the property type and the gate height. Some installations, especially near roads or shared boundaries, may require approval. We can assist in identifying if permits apply.

Simple checks include clearing debris from the rail (if tracked), keeping moving parts lubricated, and inspecting locks or motors periodically. We provide maintenance guidance after installation.

Yes. Timers and sensors can be added to close the gate automatically after entry. This is useful for securing driveways or commercial yards without needing manual operation every time.
